Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022! The fifth edition of
Mayhall's Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Prevention has a new
streamlined focus, with new editors and contributors, a new
two-color format, and a new title. Continuing the legacy of
excellence established by Dr. C. Glen Mayhall, this thoroughly
revised text covers all aspects of healthcare-associated infections
and their prevention and remains the most comprehensive reference
available in this complex field. It examines every type of
healthcare-associated (nosocomial) infection and addresses every
issue relating to surveillance, prevention, and control of these
infections in patients and in healthcare personnel, providing
unparalleled coverage for hospital epidemiologists and infectious
disease specialists. Covers the basics of hospital epidemiology and
infection prevention, types of healthcare-associated infections,
details of specific pathogens (bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal,
and viral), special populations, prevention of infections related
to specific procedures as well as the hospital environment,
antibiotic stewardship, occupational health, and emergency
preparedness, among other key topics. Focuses on the evidence,
science, and operational insight critical to the detection,
transmission, and prevention of healthcare-associated infections
(HAIs). Includes chapters centered on specific types of HAIs
(CLABSI, CAUTI, SSI, for example) and specific healthcare settings
and patient populations (such as burn units, neonatal ICUs, and
transplant recipients). Includes two several entirely new chapters
on antimicrobial stewardship. Reflects new, user-friendly features
such as the placement of core basic skills like HAI surveillance,
isolation practices, and outbreak investigation earlier in the
book; bulleted key points at the beginning of each chapter; full
reference lists in every chapter; more figures and illustrations;
and updated charts and graphs throughout. Enrich Your eBook Reading
